New

Support for Lemmy 0.19
Lots and lots of refactoring cleaning up technical debt
Added "Account settings" to replace "Lemmy Settings"
- This new section syncs up with your Lemmy account
- A few things will need updating such as your nsfw setting and sort

Changes

Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)
Sort has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this also now respects your account choice)
Removed "mark posts as read" and "remember across devices" as Lemmy does this automatically

If your app crashed, read on. It's been pointed up that the bug is due to the 'hide username' option. I manage to get around it by restoring earlier backup to the earlier version. To those that need a temporary fix, before the dev patch the update, here you go.

First, you need to uninstall the updated version and install the earlier version by using old apk (apkmirror). Then, restore the old backup. After that, need to unhide the account username, and make a new backup. Then, update the app to a new version and sign in, and restore with the backup. The new app will be good to go with the old setting (except the hide username option).

Alternatively, the app only crashes on the startup homepage. If you're able to open a post on Lemmy from Firefox you can open with sync link handler and open your setting from the comments screen.
